2026 STUFFit Student Film Festival

Welcome to STUFFit Student Film Festival - an international film festival run by high school students, for high school students, celebrating 15 years in 2026.

Every year we accept student films from around the world, and to date we’ve accepted over 2100 films from students across over 22 countries.

This year we’ve had 163 films entered from 8 countries - with 45 of those films written, shot, and edited right here on the Sunshine Coast. 

Join us at the stunning Majestic Theatre, Pomona on October 3rd, to see the 2026 Finalists on the big screen, celebrate the talented students who made the films, network with fellow student filmmakers, STUFFit judges, and industry professionals.

Doors open at 5pm, and we ask that everyone is seated by 6pm before the Awards and Screening kick off. 

We are grateful for the support of our sponsors - without them, this event would not be possible.
